This book is aimed at web developers who want to learn how to build sites and apps that take advantage of the functionality available in the latest generation of mobile devices.

You should already have intermediate knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as we won’t be spending any time covering the basics of those topics; instead, we’ll be focusing on what’s relevant for the mobile context. It will include some HTML5 and CSS3, but don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with these new standards—anything we use that’s either new or uncommon will be explained in greater detail.
